A CAD system for determining interconnecting lines for (e.g.) information boxes of a flow chart limits the number of vectors (lines parallel with the vertical and horizontal axes of a display device) used to effect an interconnection. The system follows a number of rules which result in a more aesthetic appearance to the output and reduces the risk of short stepwise changes in interconnections thus simplyfying reading of the display.
